Bumble and Brae Ltd

Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire

A cosy seaside café site built around table bookings

Bumble & Brae is a family-run café in the coastal village of Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire, run by the Meredith family, who also keep a smallholding of rescued animals nearby. It serves coffee, homemade cakes, soups and afternoon teas to locals and visitors exploring the coast. As a small café where booking is often needed, it wanted a site that feels as warm as the café and makes the next step simple. We designed and built a site that tells the family's story, offers the menu as a download, shows real Google reviews, and turns visits into table requests, gift voucher orders and newsletter sign-ups.

The brief

  • Capture the café's cosy, family-run character online
  • Encourage visitors to reserve a table before they travel
  • Sell gift vouchers and grow a newsletter list
  • Help people find the café with opening times and a map
